Default Revs dropping

Whilst driving my car today I noticed that when I came up to a junction ready to stop I dip the clutch and the revs will drop all the way to 0 but it's hasn't stalled yet?! It doesn't do it all the time!!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just try all the none expensive ways 1st. Check for leaks, clean out boost pipes, spark plugs & gaps, leads, coils, idle control valve. There's a start.
